Black Dessert Warrior Guide for Xbox
By: WarPoet
I play on Serendia 1 with the guild Regality. Get some!
I see there is not much information on here about warrior and youtube is a rabbit hole of opinion.
I will not waste you time with overexplaination every skill description ( it is in the game) or data.
I hope this is useful.
CONTENTS:
Breaking into sections currently and organizing the guide will cover pve, pvp, leveling gear , gear progression.
First Character Leveling:
Use quest tracker to stay on quest
Lt+down on d-pad opens press RB to get to main quest then tap A quest tap A on top of that quest
then exit and press left stick in then LT to auto path. running yourself is faster though. Do side quests yellow icon at node and get knowledge.
Follow chain till all main quests are done you will be in the 50-52 ish after you are done with some nice quest gear ( shield, armor etc).

CONSUMABLES:
Knight rations,perfect human hunt elixir humans. gives ap
Buy your WillPower potions(yellow) x100i ring slot to LT down on d-pad, and HP potions(red)x200. I ring slot to down on d-pad.
FLARES!
SKILLS:
At level 50 go to skill instructor press RB until you get to skill addon and get shield charge PVP attack+10 monster AP+20. (can swap either for +15 defense)
also get spin slash burn dmg( damage) +wp and ground slam poison damage +WP or whatever else you fancy like attack speed or accuracy is useful. Buffs do not stack btw.(by the way)
Team work, positioning, map/situational awareness (track cooldown of others, focus the wizards) and attitude how you treat others are the best skills to learn. You can alway beat someone if you have more friends! If you cant then swap server for 15 minutes and travel somewhere else, or use black spirit escape, nobody uses it for some reason.Help your guild with events and subjugation. your leader can give you nice buffs like +2 gather.
Black spirit rage will be consumed by ultimate spin slash automatically at 100% and it will pretty much one shot everything, but you can also use a 1 min buff black spirit rage absorption. Situation depends.
You do not need your all animation cancels they cost to many skill points in beginning they are a LUXURY! Get your passive buffs maxed. Then get your animation cancels
Get these :
Ultimate spin slash, whirlwind jump all the good stuff
Ultimate ground smash
Scars of dusk- give block ring slot to left on d-pad for me
Ground roar
Double shield
Ultimate Forward slash
Ultimate Chopping kick
Charge THRUST- gives block when leveled
shield strike 2
Takedown- apprehend and instant
Upper shield strike
Ultimate Deep Thrust (precise)
Pierce spear- gap closer. I don,t use it that much to be honest rather use my Ultimate spin slash.
Guard pressure 2- is nice remember you cannot block if you strafe but you can walk backwards and turn. Also you get WP for blocking hits.
Upper shield strike
Double dash
Jump thrust if you want it consumes WP so I do not like it as i can get more spin slash.
counter strike is only for whirlwind strike to extend our CC(crowd control) for spin slash spam.
Lock these so they do not mess you up with LT+A on main skill menu:
Evasion
Kick
Charge slash
Ground slash
PVE:
Open with ground roar then cancel with forward slash then ground roar if you really need to get them closer. depending on gear you can skip some of this combo and also you can skip shield charge if you have the +20 ap to monster on ground roar i personally prefer +10pvp power on shield charge though
You can ground roar ( -10 melee dp) then war cry (has frontal block and -20 all dp stacks with ground roar)shield charge for buff (+20 AP to monster from skill add on) then quick heavy strike to spin them and apply bleed (monsters only gives them a sec to gather) then ground smash knock down for super armor , scars of dusk ,and then spin slash-chop kick cancel-spin slash- spam you can counter strike then whirlwind strike after to look cool.
If you have 100% rage just ultimate spin slash they will all die.
PVP: karma -100k for mount kill 10k for attacking 50k for killing you only gain 5 karma per monster kill if you are red go to kusha near the sausans and you can farm orcs or catfish to for easy karma.
Hide behind your shield land a deep thrust or pierce spear (I save rage for ultimate spin slash) then shield charge- they have stiffness now earthquake or chop kick or grab. when they get back up time upper shield strike or counter strike to knock them down again keep chugging WP potions to spin slash them. Do not let them get up if you are interrupted use scars of dusk, charge thrust, shield charge they have blocks built into them if not then just block and forward slash,never turn your back on the enemy you are a WARRIOR! You can shield charge backwards if you change camera behind you.
RING Slot MENU:
Press start go to 3rd row 2nd column ring menu setting.
press RB for skill tab select scars of dusk and left on right stick to add it .make sure it is the only skill on that ring slot so you can just press left on d-pad to use it instantly. Take note animation cancels do not work with the ringslot sorry.
press RT to change to right on d-pad and set this as war cry -20 ALL dp and a block built in is amazing and should always be applied it stacks with ground roar -10 MELEE dp.
lt+ right is pierce spear
lt+up I have toggle pvp found in the menu tab as top right and bottom left is flare (item)
lt+left is up shield strike
up is carrot for top left toggle chat left bottom left elixir of fury down is quest bottom right is knight combat ration right inventory top right is black spirit up is world map
down is hp potion
lt+down is WP potion this is personal preference do it if you want.
Stay mobile get good with animation cancels(orange glow)
You have ground smash if they get behind you alot
Protect your wizard we have amazing peels and you can just dash in front and block for them.
Remember someone is always better than you and you can always make others better so pass the knowledge.

Ok this game has been out alittle bit now and I know some of you pc players have migrated over to Xbox. Ok help us out with gear tips and what we should be aiming for. I was really hoping these forums would be more active.

My characters armor is glitched and reverts back to base form look (or atleast the first time I used dye). I can clearly see what my character should look like while useing a few different screens of changeing armor fast. But it then immediately reverts back to this broken form. Bottom one with bandana is what my character is supposed to look like with the gear and stuff I have. But it always reverts back to the top form in game. Doesn’t help that I can’t submit this bug to a ticket because they won’t accept tickets at the moment with pictures.....

So I can’t link my account even though in game I was able to. I never received my event quest hawk for linking my account. Seems the site isn’t regcongizing it. Then when you try to unlink it says account doesn’t exist. Next can’t submit a single more ticket to provide pics of the issues. And then lastly since trying to perform that unlink so I can re link it In hopes that it would work now my dyes all went away on my items. And Ontop of that my armor pieces don’t change visually anymore. When switching to different ones. Very bugged it seems. Any tips on how to correct or do I have to wait for someone to fix and give me the event items/ pet?

Thought I would create a thread with a list of great guides and websites that I have found useful for BDO. I highly recommend new and returning players to look over the various
guides to learn or familiarize yourselves with BDO. New players will have a hard time figuring out what to do in BDO or how to do it. These guides will make it 1000% easier to get started, provided you take the time to look over the information.
I take no credit for any of these guides or websites, I am just bringing them together in one spot.
=======Life Skills/Money Making/Mounts/Pets/Other Guides==========
Eminent's Complete Comprehensive Life Skills Guide for BDO
Another great website that, not only has Eminent's guides broken down, but also provides countless other game guides on Black Desert Online. They also have a Knowledge Locator, interactive Node Investment Calculator, and guides on sailing/crafting.
Grumpygreen's Guide and Tools Collection
==============Item Data Bases/Build Tools/Skills/Other Guides=====================
These next two sites are a couple of my favorites and most used sites. Each one is a complete item codex/database of every item in the game. They also have interactive skill trees that allow you plan out your character builds based on character levels or pvp/pve focused. To help with things like farming, item details show you every detail on that crop and best ways to grow. There are also world boss calendars with countdowns to next spawn (this is based on PC right now)
